VANTAGE POINT

Let this gladsome day sparkle up in moments of gaiety and glee.


Let us be hopeful at the onset of a beckoning week at work. Start off by designating assigned tasks. Set out for purposes worthy either of attention or endearment. Tasks that are needful of priority attention. Beyond it all, bear in mind to act as part of a team, not just singly but singularly.


Just the same, do act in humility and grace. The first keeps us grounded. The second makes possible the first.  Through it all, stay steadfast. Be counted on as you count on each other. Be one with each other, engaged purposely for achievable results. And as we do, let us bear in mind each other’s value,  conscious of our unique differences, yet bonded by shared standards. No matter how exacting.


Together, let us be minded that we’re part of a greater whole, able to command as well as being commanded. Efforts are always better shared with one another. Do these with grace and in gratitude, in full consecration with what can serve the common good.


Yet, even as we do, make time to remember, heedful of lessons learned. Cast aside the bitter, even as we draw strength and fortitude from one moment to the next. What has been dire, let these remind us of lessons well-learned. Gear up for greater chances at hand. Let these augur well.


Look at stones as reminders of having our feet well grounded. Fret not over small inoffensive faults never meant to offend. Forgive and forget as we are fairly forgiven, rather than forsaken. Guide each other on what can bring about the best, rather than the most, of who we can be.


In reflection, think of neighbors as friends in our nearest midst. They who may have been overlooked all this time. Count on that  friendship and make it endure beyond measure, unfazed by passing direness or even unmeant slights.


Be happy no matter how woeful some moments may be. Let each day start in scintillating sparkles, enough to give us a rousingly energised start. Each day like now is just the beginning. What happens next is what matters in the end.
